GAS OR OIL BURNING STOVE..

SPECIFICATION forming pm of Letters Patent No, 340,338, dated April 2o,1886.

Application filed August 27, 1885. Serial No. 175,465.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLns Toorn, a citizen of the United States,residing at London, England, have invented new and useful Improvementsin Gas or Oil Burning Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to stoves adapted for burning oil or gas, andsuitable for heating conservatories and halls and other similarpurposes; and itl has for its object to utilize the heat as effectuallyas possible and prevent the emission of any odor.

The stove consists of a chamber traversed by tubes, for the circulationof air and the products of combustion, and may be arranged in any of theways hereinafter described, and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure l is a front elevation of one arrangement ofstove, partly in section. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of same on linex a?, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a vertical section; and Fig. 4, a section intheplane z z, Fig. 3, of the stove, the lamp and the sliding lower part ofthe stove being drawn out. Fig. 5 shows a modied arrangement of theheating-tubes. Fig. 6 is a horizontal section of the same on lineyy,Fig. 5.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

The stove is in all its arrangements constructed of a sheet-metalcylindrical or other shaped casing, a, closed at the top and fixedair-tight on a suitable base. At the lower part of the casing is alampfchamber separated from the upper part or main body of the stove bya horizontal partition, d, provided with a central aperture and adescending tube, e, ofa size to closely inclose the lamp-glass, andconstructed in two parts, the back part, e, being fixed to thehorizontal partition, and the front part, e', being hinged thereto andforming a door for the admission of the lampchimney into the casing thusformed, access being had to the lamp-chamber by an opening closed by thefront f of ya sliding tray, f. Apertures b are also formed in thepartition d at either side close to the casing a, and from theseapertures descend legs b', formed of bent pieces of sheet metal fixedagainst the sides of the casing a, said legs terminating `j ust abovethe base of the stove. These legs descend into troughs formed by wallsb2 and by the sides of the casing a, in which the water of (No model.)Patented in England March 6, 1885, No. 2,983.

condensation that escapes at the bottoni of the legs b is received, fromwhich troughs it can be easily sponged out or removed. These troughs canbe formed by attaching suitable pieces or strips of sheet metal of asuitable height, as shown at b2, Figs. 1, 2, and 5, in such a mannerthat the pieces of sheet metal abut at each end against the casing a. Atrough or space is thus formed between each strip or piece of sheetmetal b2 and the casing a,whch can be made water-tight by soldering orproperly fastening the strips b2 to the casing a, as well as to thebottom of the stove. The space between the strips bl can receive thelamp c and trayf, as shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 4. The lamp c rests on thetray f, and both are fitted to slide independently of each other betweenthe Walls b2 of the troughs, so that (the lamp and tray being drawn out,as shown in Figs. 3 and 4) the lamp can first be pushed into position inthe tube e, the door e closed, and the trayf eantheu be slid in untilits frontf closes the entrance to the lamp space, as shown in Figs. land 2.

Flues g dip into the legs b', as shown in dotted lines in Figs. 1, 8,and 5, and lead ont of the casing c into. a suitable chimney or outlet,i.

h are air heating or circulation tubes in any suitable number and ofcurved or circuitous form, so as to approach for a considerable portionof their length the ascending hot current from the lamp flame, the inleth and outlet h2 of each tube being on the side of the casing a. By thisarrangement of the ilues dipping into the apertures b and into the legsb a better utilization of the heat, which would otherwise escape directto the chimney, isA insured, the heated current ascending at the centerof the stove, as shown by arrow l, Fig. 5, and after communicating aportion of its heat to the air-circulating tubes, and then furtherparting with its heat by contact with the casing a, descending into thelegs b" and into the apertures b, whence it is drawn off by the dues g,as shown by the arrows 2 2, Fig. 5, the greater part of its heat havingthus been utilized.

In Figs. 5 and 6 the air-circulating tubes h are in the form of coilscrossing each other, whereby additional heating surface is obtained.

As seen in Figs. 3 and 5, the mouths h h2 of the tubes Izl pass intoopenings in the casing a.. When the air in the tubes h has its tempera.-ture raised, it passes out at the mouths h into the room or space inwhich the stove or heater is placed, and said air thus flowing out isreplaced by air from said room or space in which the stove or heater isplaced, which air enters through the mouths hinto the pipes or tubes h.The air in the conservatory, room, or space in which the heater isplaced thus circulates through the tubes h and becomes heated.

My heater can be provided with any suitable supply of heat-as, forexample, with a gas-burner which can be made to enter the centralaperture in the manner, for example, in which gas burners are made toenter apertures in the lower partition of a gas-stove in the UnitedStates Patent N o. 14,325, for gasstoves, granted February 26, 1856.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of myinvention and in be performed, I limit myself to what manner the same isto would observe that I do not the particular number and theair-circulating tubes herein described,and represented in the drawings,as such may be variously modified; but

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A stove or heater consisting of a casing and having a lamp or heatingchamber at the lower part separated from the main body by a partitionfurnished with an inclosure for the lamp or supply of heat, an apertureto allow the ascent of the hot-current tubes or tubular legs beneathsaid partition, communicating with openings in said partition, tluesdipping into said tubes or tubular legs, and air-circulating tubestraversing the stove,substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal inthe presenceof two subscribing witnesses.
